Patient's question:
My cousin's child suffers from cerebral palsy. The child has drooling, difficulty in pronunciation, and severe language. They have visited many hospitals and seen many doctors, but the results haven't been very noticeable.Doctor's answer:
Language is a skill that cannot develop without cultivation. Parents should fulfill the role of language teachers at home and seize every opportunity to talk with their children. Discuss whatever comes up and don't worry if the child doesn't understand, doesn't respond, or doesn't seem interested. Children have immense potential to absorb information. The words you teach them may suddenly come out one day, surprising adults—this is known as the "delayed imitation" phenomenon. As long as you are good at guiding and encouraging, with more looking, listening, and teaching, success will naturally follow.
